Paris 9e Arrondissement, France

The Barock Hotel is a small, distinctive hotel in the heart of Paris. Ideally situated near the romantic area of Montmartre, the Grands Boulevards and the Opera, this baroque-style boutique hotel invites you into its intimate setting.
Renovated in 2009, the hotel will seduce you with its immaculate decor, its little touches of fantasy and a world all of its own. Split over six floors with all modern comforts, the Barock Hotel offers all the services and facilities that you will need during your stay. The bedrooms, as well as the public spaces, have been entirely redesigned.
Magnificently decorated throughout with characteristic Parisian charm, the Barock Hotel is the latest creation of the Marciano Hotel Group. Our interior designer has reinvented the hotel and created a world which is warm and passionate.

Positive:
The location was optimal, since the Barock was close both to the Metro and Gare du Nord. The staff was very sweet and helpful in making my stay comfortable. Although the double room was on the small side, it was very clean and the room size was adequate for a solo tourist/traveler staying for 4 nights. Considering the typical size of Parisian rooms, the price for my room was fair.

Cleanliness:2.5
Room was non smoking, but still there was cigarette smelling. Also some tiles were missing in the bathroom.

The fridge in the room was not working and nothing was made to repair it even I told the staff about it. Early check in (at 11am) was not possible, even it was supposed to be.

Staff:5

Quietness:Not rated
Walls were so thin, that you wake up every time one of the neighbors uses toilet or shower.

Room:2.5
Room was very small and the view from the window was to another wall and carbage cans...

Value for money:2.5
No I didn´t. I was expecting a four star hotel, but it was maximum 2 plus.

June/2009 Someone from Southampton thinks:

Overall rating: 8.1

Would you recommend it?Yes

Positive:
Character and style - a boutique style hotel

Negative:
The hotel organised a taxi for us to the airport and the driver ripped us off. The price for a quiet journey with little traffic was a lot more than that stated on the hotel website and also almost twice thte price for the journey in reverse from the airport to the hotel in heavy rush hour traffic.
